Peanut Sesame Chicken Recipe

Name: Peanut Sesame Chicken
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 tablespoons sesame oil; 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips (I like to cube it); 9 ounces broccoli, divided into small flowerets; 9 ounces baby corn, halved if large; 1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 cup orange juice; 2 teaspoons cornstarch (I sometimes have to add a little more cornstarch at the end to get it to thicken up a bit); 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds; ⅓ cup roasted shelled, unsalted peanuts (make sure you get the unsalted ones. The soy sauce makes this dish salty enough); rice or noodles, to serve
